Whenever I look at my inseparable shadow,
I am reassured to have a friend for the time of sorrow.
My dark and alike companion,
Who can correct me with her valuable opinion.

Riding and rolling around with her is my dearest activity,
And bursting into peals of laughter along with her in the nights of tranquility.
Leaning my head on her shoulder to cry out my pain,
And those memorable days of having fun with her in rain.

Soon my reassurance changed into a big realisation,
Was this my attempt to escape from my real world of isolation?
Imagining a 'shadow' my best friend forever,
Was just a way of finding joy in my life filled with loneliness and terror.
